This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Awsome CPU... pretty much a lower clocked FX57.

Cons: Newegg sent it to me in a RAM package! Like 9 or 10 bent pins but i luckily fixed them all with my lucky .5mm pencil. And i got a $10 discount for the next thing i purchase from newegg!

Other Thoughts: I got stepping CAB2E its decent i can overclock it up to around 3.2ghz but my board gets unstable (MSI K8N Neo4) When i get a new mobo ill let this sucker fly!

Currently have:
MSI K8N Neo4
Opty 148 CAB2E @ 2.9ghz
OCZ VX @ 256 2 2 2 5 @ 3v
C3D X1800XL
SB XFI

Pros: Multiplier unlocked from 4x to 11x.
Great memory controller from what I can tell.
Highly overclockable.

Cons: Price is taking a jump lately (I assume at AMD's request)

Other Thoughts: ordered mine less than two weeks ago, received 0546DPMW. Have benchmarked it at 2800mhz (11x255), 2700mhz (9x300), and a few others all at 1.425v or less.

Also, the Newegg shipping on these is very poor as another person mentioned, and mine did come with bent pins but it wasn't bad enough to send it back.
